Vittoria Biotherapeutics Inc. has received FDA clearance of its IND application to initiate a first-in-human phase I trial with VIPER-101, a gene-edited, autologous, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma.
Phenomic AI Inc. has announced new collaboration agreements to help advance drug discovery for stroma-rich tumors using its Sctx single-cell transcriptomics platform.
Researchers from Multitude Therapeutics Inc. have reported the preclinical profile of AMT-253, a MUC18-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) under development for the treatment of melanoma. It comprises the anti-MUC18 humanized antibody pAb253-H linked to T1000 exatecan payload and showed superior antitumor efficacy than the traditional vc-MMAE-based ADC AMT-253-M.
Proteoglycan glypican-1 (GPC1) is a tumor-associated antigen that is highly expressed in tumor tissues from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), while its expression is very low on benign neoplastic lesions, chronic pancreatitis and normal adult pancreatic tissue. Researchers from Centro Di Riferimento Oncologico (CRO Aviano) and L'Università degli studi di Trieste have reported the development and preclinical characterization of AT-101, a novel complement-fixing IgM antibody targeting GPC1, as a potential immunotherapy candidate for the treatment of PDAC.
KSQ Therapeutics Inc., in collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Cell Therapy Manufacturing Center (CTMC), have announced FDA clearance of an IND application for a phase I/II study of KSQ-001EX, KSQ’s lead engineered tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (eTIL) program.
Carisma Therapeutics Inc. has received FDA clearance of its IND application for CT-0525, an ex vivo gene-modified autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-monocyte cellular therapy intended to treat solid tumors that overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2).
Shanghai Henlius Biotech Inc. has announced IND approval by the FDA for HLX-42 for injection, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) developed under a collaboration between Henlius and Medilink Therapeutics.
Why cancer? The mechanisms that drive and maintain tumorigenesis are still a mystery. This is a play with different actors who have different roles in several contexts. One of these scenarios is represented by genetic and epigenetic conditions that determine the early trajectories of cancer cells. In addition, different mechanisms will control phenotypes and states that can take one or another direction toward cancer.
